Grayson's 1st Birthday Bash

~June 16, 2012~
Well, today is the day...our Little Man's 1st Birthday Party! Grayson's 1st Birthday party was a huge success! Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with us...we had a packed house, literally!
I didn't want to do a theme so I went with the Peacock Blue & Bright Green colors...then I found the cutest tie cookies & really wanted to incorporate those. Since Grayson looked like "a little man" from the minute he was born, I thought it would be perfect to have a Little Man Theme using the blue & green colors. Once I met with the baker & she ordered a tie cookie cutter for me, I decided to go with it!   And, I even made a few of the decorations...I am not very crafty or creative so this was a big deal for me but I wanted to add a few personal touches for my baby boy. I was quite proud of the finished products...everything came together just perfectly!!!

He didn't like the feel of the icing
 I stuck his hand in it & wiped it on his face...he hated it!
 I stuck his hand in it again & he got really upset!

Grayson loves to spray the water hose. He pushes the handle all by himself & he thinks it is the funniest thing :)
